The S&P 100 (first chart) held its uptrend off its December low, but the S&P 500 (second chart) did not. Not an encouraging sign on the S&P 500, given that the Nasdaq and Nasdaq 100 previously broke their uptrends. The market may be range-bound for a while if those lines are not recovered, but we see no technical reason for new lows.

The Nasdaq broke back below its September downtrend line (first chart) this morning, but the S&P 500 held its September downtrend line after piercing it (second chart). 2496 on the Nasdaq represents the 61.8% retracement level of the 2251-2892 gain, so that is an argument in favor of holding around this level. The good news is that the Nasdaq only needs to get to 2550 or so to reclaim its September downtrend line, so we'll know quickly on any rebound if the index has the strength to get through that line. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index finished close to unchanged today, a big plus, and the Nasdaqs are very oversold, so some sort of bounce should begin next week.
